Inspired by a listener question; with a culmination of 8 of their own and 2 additional step kids*, what can JB and Ant pass on as Dads that is useful leadership lessons?

One month in to Lockdown - is this the 'new world'?

Is it the new normal? Is remote working and business leaders style of leading, managing and coaching going to need changing forever?

This episode kicks around the new norms we've come to accept about our people and ourselves in business. Will it ever be the same again?

Micromanager Special

Inspired by listener questions, we dedicate this episode dissecting / discussing those micro-managers. During lockdown, they're now forced to empower/trust their people - and we think it's not easy for them... GOOD - they need to get used to it ;)

Why do good leaders ask questions?

Note from the producer, Ant was a numpty - a few weeks ago he sent the wrong file to us, and it was actually the same as an old episode, so this is the correct one!!

This week they explore how come asking questions of your people is so important. 

think about your favourite boss, vs the worst - there's a subtle style difference and it's all hidden in the things that are probably missing from the leadership 101 job description.

That and some listener love for Sam and Anne-Sophie - it's all here for your audible delectation. 

 

 

The world has just changed, how do leaders cope?

Not one we'd expected to do - but this episode (after a few weeks off) is all about this Covid 19 (Coronavirus), that's taken over the world. As a leader, how do you adapt? How do you support your team? How do you avoid micro-managing? Probably the least prepared you'll ever hear JB and Ant (is that even possible) anything could go! Our usual listener questions also pop up...

Degree or not Degree - THAT is the question...

A subject that was inevitably going to get some passionate discussion, Ant and JB discuss a topic on many leaders' minds. What is the obsession with hiring people ONLY with a degree? With more people in the world without one than with - is dismissing them from a recruitment process good or bad leadership?

That and your listener questions - we also return to wine during recording. Hold on to your seats!
